Zorgtoeslag (Healthcare Allowance) Application

If you live and work in the Netherlands, you’re legally obliged to have the standard health insurance called Zorgverzekering. What you may not be aware of is that you could be entitled to claim the health insurance allowance (Zorgtoeslag) to help cover part of your insurance costs. Taxback.com can check if you’re eligible and claim this allowance on your behalf.

You might be eligible to claim the health insurance allowance if the following apply:

You have Dutch health insurance

You have Dutch, EU, Liechtenstein, Norwegian, Icelandic or Swiss nationality or have a valid residence permit

?What documents do I need to apply?

Residency certificate of spouse (issued in the past 6 months), if applicable

Statement of earnings for spouse, if applicable

Copy of Dutch health insurance policy or other document confirming you have Dutch health insurance

?What’s a Sofi number and do I need one?

A Sofi number is a unique personal number the Dutch tax and customs administration (Belastingdienst) uses to identify registered taxpayers. In order to apply for healthcare benefits, you and your allowance partner should have a Sofi number. If you don’t have one, we can arrange it for you.

?How much money can I get?

For the 2017 tax year the maximum amount you can get is €88 or €170 per month if you have an allowance partner.

For the 2018 tax year the maximum amount you can get is €94 or €176 per month if you have an allowance partner.

?How much does it cost?

Healthcare benefits application (Zorgtoeslag): 60 Euro

Sofi number application: 30 Euro

?When is the deadline to submit my application?

For 2017 you should submit your application by 01/09/2018.

For 2018 you should submit your application by 01/09/2019.

?What happens after my application has been submitted?

If the tax year has already ended you’ll get a final estimate stating whether you’ll get refund and if so, how much. The amount will be transferred to the account the tax office has for you.

If the tax year hasn’t ended, you’ll receive a provisional assessment stating the monthly refunds you’ll be receiving.

?How long will it take to get my allowance?

The average tax office processing time is 3-4 months from the date your application is received. Remember to provide the required information in a timely manner, otherwise delays could occur.

Sofi number application processing usually takes about 9 weeks.

Useful Zorgtoeslag Facts

It’s FREE to find out what approximate allowance you might receive.

The amount of healthcare allowance you can receive depends on your (joint) income.

Children aren’t eligible for Zorgtoeslag as they’re insured for free until the age of 18.

If you or your spouse live abroad and receive income from the Netherlands you could still be entitled to healthcare benefits.

If you worked temporarily in the Netherlands for a Dutch employer you should have paid for health insurance as well and can get the healthcare allowance.

You can apply for the current year and receive the healthcare allowance monthly.

We provide tax refunds services for 13 different countries
